Two hearts tied together by hope and tragedy.An unexpected smile. A touch on scarred flesh. A kiss on waiting lips.An undeniable love that overcomes all doubt...

My childhood and innocence were stolen when I was kidnapped at five years old and held captive for eleven years. Now, at eighteen years old, I don't know what love, happiness, or hope feels like anymore. I'm numb and lost, clinging to a childhood fairytale of a happily ever after with the prince I hoped would someday save me.

I had no idea my prince would come in the form of a scarred recluse, covered in tattoo's, who won't--or can't--speak a word.

The moment our eyes met I knew he was the one. My prince. The one I knew would save me.

He's possibly as lost in society as I am, scarred just as much on the inside as the outside. Just like me. Haunted by his tragic past, he's sentenced himself to a lifetime of loneliness.

He saved my life that day he found me in the woods, and although he doesn't speak or smile, I can't stop thinking about him. I ache to hear his voice and see him smile. And I want nothing more than to be the one to break through his walls.

Together, we found love, happiness, and a closeness that once felt impossible to have. But can I save him from himself, and the twisted past that ties us together?

** Tied can be read as a standalone, and has no cliffhanger. However, I do plan to write a follow-up book for this couple.

4.5 stars! Carian Cole has rapidly become one of my favourite authors for beautiful and heart breaking stories! She has an innate ability to pen unforgettable stories and characters and TIED was no exception. From the onset, I was thrown into Tyler and Holly’s tragic pasts which lead to their meeting. And OMG, I loved watching these two characters build trust and love in the other. This story is low on steam but I was totally OK with this as I didn’t think that the story needed the steam factor. Highly recommended, though stock up on the tissues!

Carian writes with depth, soul, love this is a beautiful love story, 2 people finding each other not knowing they have already met, this story makes you look beyond the physical. I have now read all Carian's books and I have loved them all. Incredible story teller. 😍👏🐶🎄🏍✨🔥♾

I have been waiting for this story since meeting Ty in Torn! Both Ty and Holly have been through so much and I loved this story of two broken souls, finding each other, healing as only they can together. Ty is just beautiful although still having the mysterious side. Yet another great Carian Cole read!

An all encompassing love story: Tyler and Holly were so well matched, not truly broken, but certainly bruised. I need time to dwell eon the intensity of them.Carian Cole has a gift that brings her characters to life...

WOW! I absolutely loved this story between Ty and Holly. Two broken souls who's past, present and future are miraculously entwined together. Ty makes an appearance in the previous book, Torn, he is Toren's younger brother and I did not like him, but I was intrigued to find out his story!After a series of events that happens in Ty's and his family's lives, he totally retreats from society and lives hidden away in a shack in the woods, only venturing out at night on his bike & checking animal traps for his brother. It's there he has his first encounter with Holly and it's life changing for both of them.The book is another slow burn that deals with some incredibly heart breaking & devastating issues. I am so impressed with Carian's writing, the story is told with duel POV's and some reflection of events in Ty's life & to a lesser degree, Holly's. How Carian was able to get inside Holly's head and tell her story of abuse is just amazing, I think she must have done a lot of research to write the character of Holly, she was very real and believable to me. I think her character is one of the most beautiful, innocent, pure & strong souls I've ever read about. Slowly, but surely Holly and Ty create a friendship & bond and together, they simply heal one another and it's an absolutely beautiful thing to read. Once again, this second book is all about the journey not the end, but Carian does mention she may write more about this couple, I REALLY hope she does!! There is a short bonus scene at the end of the book, which I wasn't quite ready for, I don't want to spoil, but it brought tears to my eyes. Definitely worth reading & I look forward to the next book.
